Minecraft Forums

If I didn't spend all of my free time working on my mods I'd actually have time to read some more of this, but sadly, my mods are not complete, though it doesn't seem as if they every will be. =P
I'll try and read the last few chapters that you have written so far tomorrow. =D
Great work so far!

Absolutely enthralling story! I love it, as an aspiring author myself this is very inspiring. The creativity spawned by Minecraft know's no limits, eh? I can't wait for chapter 9, and I feel like writing my own story now! XD

What I am planning to do is limit my updates so that they won't be every week, for I find having to have something for a set date would limit the quality. I will try to, instead, write multiple, longer chapters, and update all of them to the thread at the same time. Also, I will try to have this book done by the end of the summer and start working on the next after that (I already have a plot lined up and everything, tying in to the first book. Try to spot what it may be about =]). Also, do not fret, for I shall have a new update soon!

Also, if anyone would like to volunteer to be an editor, feel free to sign up!

Why can't you just update once per chapter, rather than once per few chapters, because this is so good, It seems like I'm waiting for all those books I preordered to come. And I hate waiting.

I found this yesterday and have read through it and I really like it. There are a few things I would like to say:

(this is a bit more on the words used)
In chapter 3 when it says
"the cage gushed out an evil aura, telling anything that would pass by 'Run, for I shall get you.'"
I think that a stronger word than "get" should be used. "Get" can be used in too many situations to accurately describe that the box is evil.

In chapter 4 Rebecca says "I don't see why you are so uptight. Explorers are always so strict about time. He will get here when he gets here."
Shouldn't she say craftsmen because thats what chris is? That or I misunderstood what it said.

All in all i really liked the story so far and i hope to see you expand on the lavender smell they smelled in chapter 7 and the similarities between the guy with the egg and the chief of the village they are from (both have rings in hair). I like all of the characters, but I think that Rebecca needs more of a personality. Most of the characters are shown with a bit of backstory and their interests (Steel and his roses and Vladamir and his family are examples) yet there is nothing about Rebecca. I hope to see some more information on these characters because they are interesting and well thought out. I really like this story and look forward to more of it.

I believe the explorer comment is directed towards the person making the complaint, not the intended subject of said complaint.

Either way, I agree it is a little ambiguous to the point of being a downright error. If I can think of a way to fix it, I'll try to.

Cool. Thanks for reading my comment.

Best Story ever. You sound like an actual author. You should try being one if you want. im sure you will do excellent

You should try and get this published once your finished. You could be the first person ever to publish a story about Minecraft (as I know of).

Perhaps, but I am not sure about the process in which to do that. To tell you the truth, I am just entering University after the summer, and I don't know exactly how to contact Mojang about copyrights.

Anyways, Chapter 9 is done, and is currently being edited by someone. I have faith that he will do a good job. If anyone wants to be a BACK-UP editor (say, if the person is unable to do it for his own reasons), PM me.

You can do it, Editor!

Either your editor is really slow or this is a gigantic chapter. It's taken 2 days. Or perhaps your editor spends about 30 minutes a day or less on this.

I may have time, depends on how much school work i have....

Your current editor isn't all that great either.

“So, you speak out language?” Steel asked, sheathing his dagger in good faith. “Where are we?”
Shouldn't it be our, not out?

My mind grows weary from lack of work, I lust for days of doing SOMETHING during these days of heat and mire.

Hark! I shall edit ye tales and adventures, if you do so wish.

(Uh, yeah, so, erm, hey! I'll edit, if it's, like, cool, dawg. -.- )

Great story! Keeps me wanting more.
